“Unless there is action against these thugs, it amounts to a green light for a
terrorist outrage.”

Skipper Colin Darch, 70, from Appledore, Devon, told The Sun in April about
his 47-day hostage ordeal at the hands of pirates off the coast of Somalia.

“But our captors told us there were much worse pirate gangs around the Somali
capital Mogadishu.

“They hinted that these gangs were linked to terrorists.

“One dreads to think what would happen if a cruise ship fell into their hands.”

How are the Brits handling this act of war? The foreign office has ordered skippers of warships off the Somalian coast to stop, yes, STOP detaining pirates and handing them over to the local authorities because the punishments they may receive will breach their human rights!. You couldn't make it up. So, pirates can now officially rob and kill passengers and crew of any vessel they fancy with the blessing of our government (more here.)

Can you say surrender?
